Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method, an electronic device, and a computer program product for system feature management. The method for system feature management provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure includes loading a feature item set including multiple feature items, where the multiple feature items respectively correspond to multiple microservices, the feature items each include at least an availability indicator and a status indicator, the availability indicator indicates whether the feature item is available, and the status indicator indicates whether the feature item is enabled while the feature item is available; and disabling a first feature item in the feature item set in response to an availability indicator of the first feature item indicating that the first feature item is unavailable. In this way, software can be made to better adapt to more platforms. Moreover, a user can choose to enable or disable some services as required, thereby reducing energy consumption.
